To all whom tmc- 1j concern Be it known that L '.EHOMAS 1t.

This invention relates to a dasher composed of four or more perforated-plates setcrosswise of a. boxy that slides lengthwise of the churn, said box being opei'- ated-by toothed segments projecting downward from` a transverse rock-shaft on or in the top of the churn,

' which sha is worked by cranks or arms.

To enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I now proceed to describe its construction and operation. K

Similar letters in the drawings refer to like parts.
